The San Francisco Giants are building toward 2020 and beyond, and a potential long-term piece of the future puzzle made his MLB debut on Wednesday when right-hander Shaun Anderson took the mound against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 24-year-old began the season as the team’s top pitching prospect and No. 4 prospect overall, according to MLB.com.
Anderson ended up tossing five strong innings in a no-decision while showing the poise and stuff to stick in the rotation. At the very least, he’s earned himself another start.
“He’s in the rotation right now,” manager Bruce Bochy told reporters after the game.
